Feared and revered among the immortal gods;
Divine Prometheus: see how here the large
Cadmeian characters run, scoring out
The hated title of his ancient foe,—
To Zeus ’twas made,—and now ’tis to Prometheus—
Writ with the charrèd reed—theft upon theft.
He hath stolen from Zeus his altar, and with his fire
Hath lit our sacrifice unto himself. 1392
Ió Prometheus, friend and firegiver,
For good or ill thy thefts and gifts are ours.
